Question 8

A health science podcast recently debated the value of non-medical interventions for psychiatric conditions. The host stated:

"Because severe mental health disorders are fundamentally rooted in neurological and genetic abnormalities, psychological therapies are nothing more than short-term sticking plasters."

For a mental disorder other than schizophrenia, use your knowledge of the possible explanations of its causes to assess how effective a psychological treatment would be compared to a biological treatment.
